Enlisting in the Confederate Nary—The Georgia. The woman streaked right into the house and brought me oat a piece of bread and a bone with a little meat on it, and said they should not ax anything from a good faithful nigger. The man said the news was grand,and then he told me to go up the very road I had just come down, and I started, but only went on till I saw him go into the house, and then turned and went softly the other way, eating as I went along, and trying to be thankful to the man for his good intentions, Then about the Ist of May I began to go about at night to try to find where the S,cesh pickets were, so as to watch for a chance to get on to Port Royal. One night I came down to Port Royal Ferry and hid myself in a ditch—l did not know it was a rifle pit—. close to the causeway. I had not been there more than two minutes before two pickets camo and sat down within five feet of me, so near that I could hear every word they said. Then I thought my time had come. But they went to sleep after two hours, and I crawled away, and was getting ready to go in for a swim to the Yankees. All at once a picket d st a a r r e te ? d , l u a p from nswered th , e bu Afr l i k e h n e ci ad and ~andtus r u n n e dg aonuat ran. 6 NV Who goes dare H e did not fire, but shouted to the other picket to stop me, but be fore they were aware of it I was clean gone. So I found it was of no use to try to get over that way, and concluded to try another. I got an axe and knife, and I cut a lot of rushes, and went to work in the wood and made this boat, It took me two days to weave it after the stuff was all ready. The pitch I got by cutting into a tree and catch ing the gum. The old shutter nailed on to the bottom of my boat came from Dr Fuller's house. It was three miles to the water, and I carried the basket alone on my head in the dark night for fear of pickets. It was so late in the night when I got all ready to start on the creek that I did not get down to the Coosa till daybreak, and so I landed on a little h ammock close by the mouth of the creek, and hid the boat and myself for another day. But before 9 o'clock next night I put out and paddled over to Port Royal, too glad to get away. The Yankee picket was not asleep. but challenged me before I got over near the shore, and I told him right off I was a runaway nigger coming ashore for freedom I The Sesesh picket heard me, and after I got up the bank he hailed across :—' Yanks, who you get ?'

LIVERPOOL, Saturday. To-day, at the Liverpool Assizes, before Lord Chief Just ice Cockburn, Messrs John Jones and Robert Highat, merchants and ship store dealers, carrying on business in Chapel-street, Liverpool, were charged, at the instance of the Government, with having enlisted, and endeavoured to enlist, a number of seamen and others is the service of the Confederate navy, contrary to the terms of her Majesty's proclamation of neutrality. The prosecution was laid under the 59th George 111., c 69, sec 2. The Attorney General for the County Palatine, Mr E. James, Q.C., and Mr V. Lushington, instructed by Aieeses Bateson and Robinson, appeared on behalf of the Crown— Mr Temple Q.C., and Mr Baylis for the defendant Jones— and Mr Brett, Q.C., Mr Mellish, Q.C., and Mr Gibbs for the defendant Highat. Francis Glasabrook was examined by Mr Lushington. Ho said---I am a seaman, and was formerly in the Naval Reserve in the name of Frank Rivers. I signed articles to go on board the steamer Japan on a voyage to China in March, 1863. 1 signed them at the Sailors' Home, Liver pool. After doing so I went to Messrs Jones and Highat's office to get my advance note, and received it. I was then told that I was to go that evening by the Greenock boat from Liverpool. I went down to the boat, and there I saw Mr Highat. He was giving cheques to the other men, w ho were also going our in the Japan. When we got to Greenock we were taken on board the Japan by a steam tug. The Japan was lying some distance down in the Clyde. The following day the Japan left Greenock upon the command of Captain Hitchcock. When we arrived off the French coast we fell in with a small stearntug, which we took in tow. We went with her to Brest , we b where we came to an ancho r . I n th e evening affled alongside of the small s t eamer , an d a ll night we were engaged in taking on b oar d f rom h er stores and guns, powder and shot. Mr Jo nes was on b oar d at the time. When Lieut. Maury came on board he put on the uniform of the Confederate States, and then all hands were called down into the cabin. I saw Mr Jones there at the time. He was standing at the time with Lieut. Maury, who told us that the ship was going to sail under the Confederate flag, and said that if we would go with her he would give us £4 lOs per month, £lO bounty. A number of us accepted the terms and signed articles. The Confederate flag was hoisted at night, and we left the coast of France, and went on a cruise as far as the Cape of Good Hope. We took and sunk several vessels while we were flying the Confederate flag. We returned to Cherbourg about the month of Octo ber, and afterwards I came to Liverpool on leave of absence. I went to Messrs. Junes and Highat's office, where I saw Mr Jones. He coked, nee how T liked the Georgia, and I told him I liked the:vessel very well. On one occasion I told Mr Highat, and he asked me ii I belonged to the Florida. 1 told him that I belonged to the Georgia, and he then said that he wanted to send us back to the Georgia, and that we were to go by way of Dover. I asked him for a month's half-pay in advance, and he told me to come back at three o'clock, and bring my wife's signature. I did so, and re ceived my half-pay, and was told to be down at the Havre boat on the following Monday evening about eight o'clock. On the Monday I went down to the Havre boat, and £3, part of a month's pay, was given to me by a man named Wilding, a clerk of Messrs. Jones and Highat's. I did not go to Cherbourg again. I refused to go. I served as a petty officer on board the Georgia. Cross-examined by Mr Temple, Q.C.—When I came to Mr Jones's office and represented to him that I had got leave of absence I wished to go back again. I went down to the Havre boat on the Monday and got the money, and then I walked away. I had changed my mind before I went to the boat. I had seen the American consul at Liverpool before I went down to the boat and got the £3. Mr Temple—Who took you to the American consul? Witness--A man named Maguire. Is he a detective P—l believe he is. When I was before the American consul he told me that I should have the same money on shore that I had had on board the Georgia. Maguire was to be my paymaster. I was to do nothing but walk about in Liverpool (a laugh). After I had seen the American consul I went down to the boat and got the £3. I went to Messrs Jones and Highat after I had seen the American consul and received money from them. I received money from both the American consul and Messrs Jones and Highat. Maguire told me to go to Messrs Jones and llighat, and ask them to give me money. I have been walking about since the time I left the Georgia, And receiving £1 19s 4d a month, I believe, from the American Consul ?—Yes. Several other seamen who had also been similarly en gaged, and sailed in the Georgia, were next examined, and corroborated the last witness's statements. The wives of several of the men were also examined, and deposed to re ceiving the £lO bounty and the half-pay from Messrs Jones and Highat. Mr Temple and Mr Brett, for the defendants, contended that there was no case, as the enlistment, if any, was out side the British dominions, having been at Brest, conse quently not within the meaning of the act. His Lordship overruled the objection, but consented to take a note of it. The learned Counsel for the defendants having addressed the jury, a verdict of guilty on all the counts was returned. Judgment was deferred, pending the case being taken to a higher court on the objection raised. French Theatricals. The first representation of the " Liberte dies 'rhelires" was given at the Varietes on Wednesday evening. It is an amusing collection of incon gruous " quips and cranks and wreathed smiles"— a perfect jumble of drolleries of all kinds. As to the plot it amounts to nearly nothing ; but as there must be some sort of method even in dramatic mad ness we may suppose the story to be this : —An am bitious pastrycook of theatrical proclivities wishes to take advantage of the new law by opening a theatre of his own ; but his neighbours, the grocer and the butcher, have formed a similar idea, and hence a comical competition between these and other managers desirous of securing the services of a lot of good, bad, and indifferent artistes assembled in a cafe, who are sold by auction and knocked down to the highest bidder by Mme. Duval, who, armed with a punch-ladle for a hammer, sells off her lots with great vigour. This gives occasion for much drollery, as each artist has to give a speci men of his or her dramatic or musical powers. The successful competitor starts a Theatre Restaurant, in which the pleasures of the table are en joyed along with those of the drama —each dish being served up with its corresponding artist— soup with the soprano, veal with the jeunepremiere, roast beef with the basso, and so on. The piece played before this gormandising audience is "Don Quichotte," windmills, and all, which is interrupted in a pathetic part by D alcinea, who has got hungry at sight of so much good fare, and refuses to do more without her dinner. The❑ follows an opera, the " Violon Enchante," in which M. nerve as Ca bocino personates an enraged musician as chef d'orchestre in an amusing manner, and Madlle. Vernet, an actress of Lyons, plays an air on the violin in a masterly manner ; but the tenor has fallen ill, and so we have a Guiqnol—the puppets, as large as life, representing in laughable style Le maitre, Beauvallet, and other well-known artistes. Then follows a ballet amidst pretty scenery, with a real fountain in the centre, whose leaping waters are illuminated by electric light in brilliant colours, producing a singularly beautiful effect. After that we have the rehearsal (in costume) of an extrava gant military melodrama of the old Cirque Imperial kind. The whole ends by a grand ballet in honour of theatrical liberty, in which we have characteristic dances of all nations. The piece is lively, and, if not overflowing with, is at all events provocative of laughter. For the Opera, M. St. Georges is preparing a grand ballet, " Don Juan," the choregraphic arrangements to be composed by that master of the art, M. Rota. Madlle. Sax, whose engagement at the Opera ends next year, is about to renew it for five years. The director of the Italian Opera has engaged Madame Penco for the coming season, Zucchini, the well known buffo, and h a lf a d ozen tenors , F ras . chini, Negrini, Nice°lini, Corsi, Baragli, and Naudin. This last, however, is said also to be engaged as tenor for " Vasco di Gams" at the Opera. The Opera Comique is undergoing a thorough repair, at the expense, it is said, of some 60,0001 r. and will be opened towards the end of this month, fresh and brilliant, with " Lara," " L'Eclair, and a new musical drama by M. d'Ennery, to be called " Les Drames du Cabaret," in which M. Paul Menie: is to have the principal role. At the Lyrique, besides M. Legouve's " Deux Reines," and other attractive novelties, we are to have an opera by M. Brizet, the composer of " Le Pecheur de rerles," to be named " Ivan le Terrible." M. Carvalho has offered a prize for the bast opera on the subject of the " Bride of Abydos," to be com peted for by young composers who have each gained the prize of Rome. Mlle. Nilson, a young S wedish soprano, has been engaged for this theatre, and is to appear next month in the " Traviata." Mme. Victoria Lafontoine has met with much success at the Francais in the role of Agnes in the " Ecole des Femmes." M. Sardou, unappalled by the critical hail with which he has been assailed for not being quite equal to Cervantes, is preparing " Les Pommes du Voisin" for the less ambitious audience of the Palace Royal, in which the chief parts are to be taken by Geoffroy and Mlle. Honorine. At the joyous little Bouffes Parisiens, M. Varne y the late director, has subsided into the office of chef d'orchestre, and M. Mestepes 1e to be his successor. In the meantime M. Offenbach is getting " covered with laurels" at Ems and other German spas, where he has brought out two new works with success, "Le Soldat llagicien" and "Jeanne qui pleure et Jeanne qui At Baden, M. G. Ilequet's hew opera, "De par le Roi," has been greeted with equal success. A new theatre is in course of erection on the Boulevard St. Germain, and will be opened next month with half a dozen new dramas and operas. The " Societe du Grand Concert" have com pleted arrangements for converting an upholstery establishment, the Colonnes d'Hcroule, in the Rue three. tion into a mu s i c -h a ll , where, un d er the tion of M. Felicien David and M. Lorbac, the finest music, classical and popular, is to be disp ense d to the masses a t the charge of one and two francs. This hall is large enough to accommodate 3,000 persons, and the orchestra will be composed of 100 musicians, assisted by 200 chorists. A question is now pending before the law courts as to the right of the " Imperial" theatres to break the engagement of an artist with a provincial theatre and appropriate his services. AM. Lamy had en tered into a contract to act at Marseilles, and after. wards engaged to play in the " Gandre de M. Poirier," at the F 7 ancsis ; the provincial directo r protested against this breach of faith, but the man agement of the Francais claims the privilege of en foroing it, and people are clarions to know whether The Yorkshire Moors, _ The shooting season promises to be the most sue' cessful that has occurred for many years past. In.. deed, the oldest sportsmen admitted that they never baW so many birds, and the result has been that very large lugs indeed have been made. The open ing day, the 12th, was all that could be desired, warm, with but little wind, and brought out large numbers from all parts of the country. The birds, in some instances were a little wild and strong, but on the whole they were large and in fine condition, and lay well for the gun. Among the principal bags on Friday was the party of Air Stanhope, consisting of four guns, who got 83 brace in a short time on the Danford-bridge side. On the grounds of Sir Lionel Pilkington, the birds were very nu• merous s Mr S. W. Hague killed 44 brace, Mr A. K. Sidebottom, 221, and Mr A. Athorpe, 19; brace. On Saturday, on the same ground, Mr. Hague knocked over 14; brace, in the two hours preceding luncheon, Mr Briggs and two guns on the adjoin.. ing ground killed 25 brace in a few hours, and on Saturday 12 brace up to one o'clock. At Medhope stonos, Mr W. H. Peacocke killed 82f brace arid Mr. C. Wright 174 brace. On the other moors the sportsmen were equally lucky, Mr H. Miller, jun., killing 24 brace, Mr H. Miller, sen., 19 brace, Mr Robert Lorby and Mr T. Garside 12 brace each, Mr H. Rollin 16 brace. Mr T. Chapman was also very successful, and with his party made very large bags. On Cadman's Moor, Mr S. lessop knocked over 32 brace ; higher up Mr T. Vickers bagged 25 brace, Mr W. Waterfall 251, and several other gen tlemen from 20 to 23 brace, The late rains, al• though not to any great extent, have made the ground good for those on the moors, it being quite elastic to the foot. On Saturday the sportsmen, although not so numerous as on the previous day, were very successful, and again good bags were the rule. The sportsmen are in high spirits, and the reports of their great success on all the moors will, it is expected, be the means of bringing t 0 .4 gether:a very large number of guns during the pre• sent week.

The Thames Embankment and the Conser• vators of the Thames, In consequence of a misunderstanding having arisen be tween Mr G, Furness (the contractor for the construction of a part of the embankment) and the Thames Conservators relative to the quality of the material dredged from the bet torn of the river for the purpose of filling in behind the em bankment wall, a correspondence h as ensued between them and the Metropolitan Board of Wos ks,the result of which has been that the board has sent the following letter and notice to the conservators : Spring-gardens, sth August, 1864. " Sir,—l am directed by the Metropolitan Board of Works to acquaint you, for the information of the Thames Conservators, that, upon receipt of your letter of the 29th July, enclosing a copy of a letter addressed to the conser vators, on the 22d of that month, by Mr George Furness, the contractor for a portion of the Thames Embankment works, in relation to the supply of gravel, dredged from from the river, for filling-in behind the Thames Embank ment wall, and the reply of the conservators thereto, dated July 29, to the effect that the conservators were of opinion that all future communications on the subject should take place between the metropolitan board and themselves. Mr Furness was communicated with in reference to the matter, and, in reply, he has stated that he has, for the present, stopped receiving any materials for filling in behind the Thames Embankment, until some satis factory arrangement can be come to with the conservatory, for the following reasons :—That the conservators do not supply him with the best of the deposit dredged from the liver, but that this is sold to other persons and used for building and other purposes, and that he is supplied with the inferior deposit only. That for this he is charged 6d per yard, whilst Messrs. Hunter and English are willing to sup ply him with the same description of material, raised from the river, at the rate of 41d per yard, the cost price to them being about 31d. That a very large proportion or the light and inferior material supplied to him is washed out of the embankment into the river, and that he has applied to the reservoirs to make a deduction for such loss, and to charge him a fair price for that which re mains in the embankment, but that the conservators have declined to treat with him upon that or any of these points, or in any way to recognise him. That if he is charged 6cl per yard for the material, and has to barge it to his works at a cost of 6d per yard, and to pay 4d per yard for unloading, making together is 4d, and if half of this is washed away, the cost to him for forming the bank will be 2s 8d per yard, and that he could not carry out his contract upon these terms without very heavy loss. That, under the circumstances, he proposes to suspend fill ing in behind the embankment until he shall have completed the wall in front, when the material will be prevented from being washed into the river, and he will then be prepared to receive any amount of good deposit which the conservators can supply at a fair price. At the same time ha expresses his readiness now to receive the deposit from the conserva tors if they will take the foregoing matters into conridera tion in a fair and reasonable spirit. " The board desire me to request that you will be good enough to bring under the notice of the conservators these facts, which they feel sure will receive due consideration. " I am also to state that the board aro most desirous of carrying out not only the letter but the spirit of the Thames Embankment Act, and as the conservators have de clined to treat with Mr Furness on the subject, they have sealed accompanying notice, containing their formal request, under ale provisions of the Embank..one Act, for the con servators to dig, raise, and take up, from the bed of the river, and to supply to the several contractors, Mr Furness and Mr Ritson, the material for the purposes of the em bankment, the board reserving to themselves the power to reject any portion which in their judgment may be unlit for the purpose. " I am further to state that, with a view of giving the fullest effect to the request, I have, pursuant to the board's instructions, apprised the contractors, Mr Furness aud Mr Ritson, respectively, of the same, and required them to use all material which may be so supplied, and to do all iu their Power to enable the conservators to comply with the board's requisition,—l am, &C., (Signad) "JOHN POLLARD, Clerk of the Board. "E. Burstal, Esq., Secretary, Thames Conservancy." The notice referred to in the foregoing letter was as fol lows : "To the Conservators of the River Thames, their Secretary, and whom it may concern. "The Metropolitan Board of 'Works hereby, parsuant to the provisions of the Thames Embankment Act, 1862, and in order to enable the said board and their several contrac tors, Mr Geo. Furness and Mr Anthony Ward Ritson, se verally, to form the said embankment, give you notice and require you to dig, raise, and take up from the bed of the River Thames, and to supply to the said contractors, at their respective works of _the said embankment, all such gravel, sand, soil, or other materials as rosy be necessary and proper for such works, an d the said board require you to proceed in such digging, raising, and supplying, and to exec ute the same within such period as may be reasonably requisite in that behalf, and the said board will ba ready and willing to pay all such sums of money as provided i n that behalf by the said stat u t e. The sa i d board hereby give notice that they reserve to themselves the power to reject any materials which shall b e unfit for the purposes of the said embankment.

There are some foreigners at Tunis who affect not to believe in the reconciliation of the Bey with the revolted Arab tribes of the interior of the Regency, while others, for motives best known to themselves, are sadly and grievously disapp'ainted at the pacific termination which affairs have taken, without their proff , red assistance. We subjoin, in confirmation of our own correspondent's intelligence, the translation of an official despatch to the Bey, from General Sy Ismail, commanding the Expedi tionary Corps, which gives the lie to the statement in the Italian papers that he had returned from Tenourba under tho pretext of illness, leaving his force of 3,000 men and a park of 12 guns hemmed in by the insurgents. This letter bears a date equivalent to July, 1664, and is thus worded : " I beg to inform your highness that at this moment the Sheiks Sy Moustapha Ben Azouz, El Hadj Mohamed el-Sadik, and Sy Ahmed Ben Abd-el-Melek, together with about 400 horsemen, the chiefs of the tribes Dreed, Ouled Sidy Abid, El Arab, Wergha, Sharen, Hama mesa, Doutan, Gendouba, Ouled Yacob, Zagalema, Tuabaa, Ouled Ayar, Uerten, Ouled Ben Salem, and Meggiar have arrived at the camp to treat with us respecting the termina tion of their affairs, as well as that I may solicit your High ness to forgive them from your heart, in addition to the amnesty which your Highness has already granted, in obli vion of their errors. With regard, however, to Aiy Ben Gdahem, the ringleader of the revolt, and those of his tribe (the Meggiar) who were with him, they have withdrawn to their abodes, after his having declared to the two Sheiks, Sy Mohamed Ben Azouz and Sy Ahmed Abd-el-Maret, that henceforward he will not interfere in anything regarding the tribes, and he has given a document to that effect under his hand and seal to the two venerable Sheiks above men tioned ; and that sinee he has obtained an amnesty, as well as what it has pleased your Highness to grant by way of diminution of the tax imposed upon them, and which has caused their agitation, he will never again do anything which will disturb the peace. The above is the substance of his words, and hereafter we will inform your Highness of any future occurrence." Letters from Ali Ben Gdahem have also been received apologising for what has occurred, and saying that circum stances and necessity compelled the Arabs to take this course, and that many people had written him to urge him, And he could not avoid seconding their wishes without any desire of his own. In short, his words show the sincerity of his conversion and repentance for what he has done. With respect to himself, he says he is a Sheriff (descendant of the Prophet) and a religious man, and that it is not in his character, nor in the character of those who side with God, to misguide the people, and other words leading to purify the afflicted heart, The Orange Riots in Belfast, In a special edition issued on Friday morning, the Nor thern Whig says :—" The rioting, which has been going on every night during the week, culminated to an alarming pitch this morning, and several hand•to-hand fights oc curred between 2 and 5 o'clock. Stones, brickbats, blud geons, and even guns were used—and before the police,who had gone home for the night, cams upon the scene, a num ber of houses were wrecked. Several men going to their work were seriously injured. One girl was knocked down and severely maimed by a blow from a policeman's gun— and a man was shot through the leg and severely wounded. At 5 o'clock this morning murder seemed to be the point aimed at by the contending parties. One man was barba rously set upon, and in a few minutes left for dead. A gentleman coming ug had him conveyed to a medical man's establishment. After a minute investigation the doctor pronounced the sufferer in a very dangerous state, and begged of the parties in charge of him to have him conveyed to the Belfast General Hospital. Many other people were more or less injured. The nunnery on the Dublin road has been wrecked. The St. Patrick's Burial Society in Dur ham•street has had every window smashed, and many other private houses have been more or less injured by the mobs. The district is still in a most disturbed state. The workers in the neighbouring factories are out on the streets and cannot be prevailed upon to go to work. Thero is every prospect of dreadful rioting this evening, and the authori ties are holding a consultation as to what is best to be done to preserve the peace of the town. We understand it is in tended to call out the mil itary." The Whig in an earlier edition of the same day gave the following as to the state of the streets on Thursday night : Yesterday evening the streets in the disturbed districts were in a very disorderly state—more so than on any night dur- ing the week. Durham-street to the Boyne Bridge was crowded by people, most of whom had no business there, as they do not live in the locality, but were the riff-raff of every district in the town, who had collected for an hour's stone throwing. The police were present in large numbers. It seems a curious arrangement that the policeshould march or stand at corners in large bodies, when they could be far more effective in putting down disorder by patrolling, two or three together. Some of the local and county police did most effective duty in plain clothes, as, in consequence of the mob not suspecting their business, they were enabled to rush among the rioters and arrest some 20 or 30 of them, which would not have been the case if the fellows had been warned off by the appearance of uniform. The mobs of Belfast are getting even more cowardly than ever, for their mode of warfare last night was to congregate about entries, throw volleys of scones, and then run off. Once or twice the opposing mobs did attempt to meet each other, but their attempts were frustrated by the police, which made them furious, and they turned upon the authorities. Mr Orme, R.M., who was the only magistrate we saw on the spot, was struck with a stone by some cowardly fellow, who after throwing it ran off, and made his escape. Between 8 and 9 o'clock the two mobs met, and the police being absent at the time, they sent several volleys of stones at each other. Am munition being rather scarce among the Pound mob, a man was observed to bring a horse and cart, the latter filled with brickbats, and deposit them among the mob, who were thereby enabled to keep up a good fire against the Sandy row party. About this hour the Pound party burned King William in effigy, and we understand a similar demonstration is contemplated to-night, the 12th August being one of the days celebrated as an anniversary by the Orangemen, Of the persons arrested last night about two-thirds belong to the so-called Protestant party, who, when brought to the office, had the appearance of a lot of idle scamps, there no t being a respectable-looking man among them, They will be brought up to the police court this morning. At about 12 o'clock the police were discharged from duty in the dis turbed districts, at that time all being in quietness. How ever, this state of things did not long continue, as at about 1 o'clock the Pound three came down Durham-street in full strength, in order to attack their opponents. The alarm was at once given, and in a very short time there was a strong muster of the Sandy-row party—not, however, until a great number of the houses in Durham-street between College square and Barrick-street sustained very serious injury by the throwing of stones and brickbats. About two o'clock a number of the local force, under Chief Constable M‘liit trick, arrived at the scene of action, and were stationed at Mr Collins's Meeting-house. Up till four o'clock no fur ther meeting of, the rioters took place—no demonstrations having been made, with the exception of the firing of guns and pistols from either side, and a few volleys of stones from the Pound mob. Mr Orme arrived about half-past 3 o'clock with about 30 of the constabulary, who were also stationed opposite Christ Church. We may mention that this,was the second time the police were brought from their quarters during the night. In Saturday's edition the same journal says—" The riots in Belfast continued with unabated fury—unequalled by anything we have ever seen in this town. The magistrates did not take the precaution we suggested, of patrolling the streets with police, two and two breast, but placed them at corners in batches of 20 or 30 to stand and look on at the rioters. If this is the object for which the police were sent to Belfast, they might as well not have come at all, for in a guerilla warfare such as took place last night large bodies of men cannot act properly together. Towards evening the districts generally known as the dis orderly parts of the town appeared to be assembling for a grand encounter. Every street, from Divis-street on the north to the Dublin-road on the south, was in array and ready for the fray. 'We have seen riots which occurred in Belfast for the last eight or ten years, and have never seen the people of the two districts more determinedly set fora party encounter. Every artifice of warfare was in readiness— stones were in heaps—brickbats covered the thoroughfares —crowds of people were at every corner—and nothing was wanted for a great party fight except the absence of the police, who, fortunately for the peace of the town, were present in as large numbers as their arrangement in Belfast could afford, considering that there are not more than 200 men in the town. A e stated, the workmen in the various establishments in the neighbourhood of the Pound and Sandy-row districts refused to work yesterday; and the streets were crowded all day by those who sympathised with the unfortunate people who were hurt in the terrible riots of the morning. Some of those then hurt are not likely to recover; and it was supposed that the agitation caused in the people's mind by the frightful encounters with fire-arms which then took place would lead to dread. ful scenes last night. 'We are glad to know that the pre cautions which the authorities took were successful to some extent. Every policeman and every local constable in the town was drafted to those districts where their presence was required; and, in the middle of large crowds where stones and brickbats were thrown, in which many of them were wounded, they conducted themselves in a most credit able manner—in fact, showing a great amount of patience, considering the abuse which they suffered. Barrack-street, Pound-street, Hamill-street, Durham-street, Divis-street, Sandy-row, and all the streets adjoining the place, were in a regular ferment ; nothing could be done in conse • quence of the presence of the police, and the wretched cowards attacked all the passers by they saw. They made a sally from Durham-street to Donegall-square, and attacked the meeting-house of Dr Cooke,breaking every pane of glass in the windows facing Alfred-street, after which they broke the windows of the Methodist church, Donegall-square, the windows in Mr Shaw's meeting-house, Alfred-street, and taking a rush down Arthur-street, broke every window they could find—sparing neither friend nor foe. They broke the windows in the houses of Mr Meenan and Mr Murray, in Arthur-street, Mr Dunlop, Arthur-square,and a great many others, and in their savage fury they struck Mrs Meenan on the head with a large stone while standing at the door of her own house. This mob then ran along Castle-place, and joined their brethren in King-street. About a quarter to ten last night, a knot of rather decent-looking men came up to the house, 8, Howard-street, the residence of the Right Rev. Dr Dorrian, Roman Catholic coadjutor bishop, and broke the fanlight over the hall door. At the very time some of the Roman Catholic clergy who reside with Dr Dorrian were in the Pound district persuading the popu lace to go home and clear the streets, At ten o'clock a great row occurred in Barrack-street, when the police, with Mr and Mr Taylor, J.P., ma d e severa l arrests.

He landed from a primitive boat, not made of "bulrushes," but from a coarse kind of grass, which had first been twisted into a rope of lf inch in diameter. To keep this rope together, it was bound round, or, as the sailors would term it, served, with other grass. This rope was plaited together as I have seen door mats, beginning in the centre, and building out to form the foundation or floor, then up to form the sides. It was five feet four inches in length, three feet four inches broad, and one foot six inches in depth—measuring from the top or bulwarks of the boat. On the bottom, or inside floor, to keep it from collapsing, there were three pieces of pine wood. There was an old shutter on the outside, or under neath, on which the boat was fastened. Inside and outside it was pitched, to keep it water-tight. The man gave his name as Jack Frowers, stating that ho was born the slave of Dr. Henry Fuller, of Beaufort, S.C., now of Baltimore—a man who was among the foremost to take South Carolina out of the Union, but who was too shrewd (or something else) to continue with secession, as by doing so he might lose his " possessions, for he was very rich." It would be hard to convince Jack that his master is not a secessionist still, or his 15 brethren lent to Elder Holley for their victuals and clothes till the war is over. Jack spent most of his life on one or the other of the doctor's plantations near Beaufort, always working as a field hand. He does not know his age, but I should judge him to be 45. The noble fellow would not make his age an excuse for not fighting for others' freedom. He has enlisted in what was formerly the Ist S. C. Coloured Regiment (Colonel Iligginson), now known as the 33d U. S. C. T. I give Jack's narrative in his own words, as written down by :,1r Judd, omitting such passages as would implicate Jack's assistants. Two years ago now the doctor sent me and 16 others to the village of Aikin, 125 miles back, where the country is all broken up into hills and valleys, where we were to work for Millidge Holley, who was to keep us, the doctor told us, till the war was over—he (Holley) giving us victuals and clothes. About the 15th of May, 1863, I started off one dark night to get to Beaufort ; took only a blanket and pair of pants, and travelled as hard as I could till almost morning, and then hid in the swamp. I was disturbed and frightened by the cry of bloodhounds coming on my track. To get away I had to cross the swamp and double on them, going towards Augusta. But they kept the scent, and chased me all day, though I went across ibrooks and swamps ever so many times. So it was 12 o'clock at night when I got to the bridge of Augusta, though distant about 16 miles from Aiken. At the far end of the bridge is a gate where the guard stands post ; and when I came to him he asked me where I was from, and I toad him from Gardner's Corners, when ho said he thought I was lying, and if he knew I was he would surely kill me, for no nigger should run away to the d—d Yankees if he could help it. After that ho took me to gaol, and word was sent to Dr Fuller, who sent and told Holley I was in gaol at Augusta, and he had best take me out, and do just as he chose with me, only he must keep me alive till after the war. There were 16 bloodhounds and 12 men after me, as I found out when I got back to Aiken, and they only lost my track at 10 o'clock. Just as soon as Master Holley got me home, he set the dogs to worry and bite me, and the scars on my legs and arms are what they did with their teeth. After he got tired of that fun, he took me to a blacksmith, who put a ring around my ankle, bending the ends in when it was red hot. (A large scar is all around the ankle, showing. the mark from the burn of the red hot iron.) And then a heavy timber chain was wound twice around my waist, and locked. The chain weighed as much as 501b5,, and was put next to my skin, and I wore both these derbies four weeks, and got a hard flogging every day beside. Master Holley himself whipped me, saying he had got me now where he wanted me, and he would have satisfaction. When he took off the fet ters I was too lame and sick to do anything, and he laughed a t m e, telling me I had better try again to go to the Yankees.' Since then Holley has kept a guard on all his niggers, so that we could not get away, watching us so close and treating me so badly that I got completely cowed, and gave it up till the last day of March in this year, when he set me a new task, to go to the woods and cut and split 155 rails, feeding and watering the cattle, 25 head, three times a day, beside doing the housewoman's chores, for a dar e work. When I came up at noon, the first day, to get something to eat, the housewoman told me that Mr. Holley would give me GOO lashes because I had not cut some fire wood before I went away in the morning. I said, I can't do more den I can. He's master, an' I slave, and I cant hinder him.' So after dinner I went down in a little bush, w h er e I could see when Master Holley came home, a n d , when he did come the housewoman told him what she said she would, and he went off very quick toward where I had been working, but of course he did not find mo there ; an d so by and by I saw him come back and go into the house, In a little while he came out with his gun, aria a sword b uc kled around him, and whistled for his six bloodh.,, nd dogs, who went after him. As soon as I saw that 'jump e d up and ran like lightning the other way. When the hounds fairly got on my trail and I heard them, I was two miles off, and by crossing little swamps I put them out till an hour before sundown, when I came to a pond and could see the dogs not more than 300 yards be hind me. I tumbled right in and waded out till I could just touch my toes and keep my nose above water to breathe, and the dogs lost me entirely. When Holley and the other men came down to the pondlthey rode all around it, and I heard them say, He can't get away no how, for we can come in the morning, and the dogs will take his scent and find him,' After they had gone I got out and wrung out my clothes, and started by the road direct, and ran and walked all night till I knew I was gone 35 miles from Aiken ; and then at daydawn I got to a pond, and went out on a log that was sticking in the water, and broke down some rushes and bushes enough to lie down on and cover me up, and there I kept all day, for I was dreadful tired, and most starved, too. When night came I was so weak from hunger that I could scarcely go along; but 1 felt better when I harked and couldn't hear no dogs. So I came on and got a half-mile, when I saw a little house just back from the road, and thought it was a nigger house, and went along up to the door, when a white woman came out and scared me dreadfully. She asked me what I wanted, and I saw I was in for a lie anyhow. So I said, ' Is master at home ?' and sure enough he came right out. When he asked me where I came from I told him Pocotaligo, and before he could ask any more I said, 'We cotched fifty Yankees yesterday down there, and master was so tickled that he let me go up to Barnwell's to see my family.' Then I said I had got off the track and was h ung ry, 444 would 49i Ile gall tag Norootking to oat.
